Configure Page Settings

In DsExcel Java, you can use the methods of the IPageSetup interface in order to configure page settings.

Configuring page settings involves the following tasks:

Configure Page Margins

You can use the setTopMargin method, setHeaderMargin method, setFooterMargin method, setRightMargin method, setLeftMargin method and the setBottomMargin method of the IPageSetup interface to configure margins for a page.

// Set margins, in points.
worksheet.getPageSetup().setTopMargin(36);
worksheet.getPageSetup().setBottomMargin(36);
worksheet.getPageSetup().setLeftMargin(28.8);
worksheet.getPageSetup().setRightMargin(72);
worksheet.getPageSetup().setHeaderMargin(0);
worksheet.getPageSetup().setFooterMargin(93.6);

Note: While you set margins for your page, it is necessary to ensure that it should not be less than Zero.

Configure Page Orientation

You can use the setOrientation method of the IPageSetup interface in order to set the orientation for a page to Portrait or Landscape as per custom preferences.

// Set page orientation, default is portrait.
worksheet.getPageSetup().setOrientation(PageOrientation.Landscape);

Configure Page Order

You can use the setOrder method of the IPageSetup interface in order to configure the order of the page as per your choice.

// Set page order. The default value is DownThenOver.
worksheet.getPageSetup().setOrder(Order.OverThenDown);

Configure Page Center

You can use the setCenterHorizontally method and the setCenterVertically method of the IPageSetup interface in order to configure the center of the page according to your custom preferences.

// Set page center. The default value is false.
worksheet.getPageSetup().setCenterHorizontally(true);
worksheet.getPageSetup().setCenterVertically(true);

Configure First Page Number

You can use the setFirstPageNumber method of the IPageSetup interface in order to configure the number for your first page as per your choice.

// Set first page number, default is p1.
worksheet.getPageSetup().setFirstPageNumber(3);

You can also use setIsAutoFirstPageNumber method of the IPageSetup interface to set the first page number to "Auto".

// Set first page number to Auto.
worksheet.getPageSetup().setIsAutoFirstPageNumber(true);
